Cervical Cancer Presentation from Research india...sudhpriya
Cervical cancer is caused by persistent infection with high-risk strains of human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is transmitted sexually and infects the cells of the cervix, which can lead to cervical cancer over many years if the infection is not cleared by the immune system. Screening for cervical cancer using the Pap test aims to detect cellular changes in the cervix before cancer develops. Diagnosis involves tests to detect HPV infection and examine cervical tissue for cancerous or precancerous cells. Prevention strategies include the HPV vaccine to protect against infection from high-risk HPV strains and regular Pap screening to detect cellular changes early.
Islam is a religion of peace that means submission to the one God.

Terrorism goes against Islamic teachings of showing mercy, love and avoiding harm.

Sufism originated with the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad and his son-in-law Ali ibn Abi Talib, who scholars consider the founder of Sufism. The core philosophy of Sufism is achieving "unity" with God through practices like music, dance, and poetry. Sufis strive for spiritual enlightenment and connection with God, most notably through their famous "whirling dance". Today, Sufism continues its enduring focus on the love of God through philosophical teachings and mystical practices.

Perception
This is a very interesting topic!
A process by which individuals organize and interpret their sensory impressions in order to give meaning to their environment.
It is a process of selecting, sorting, interpretating information inputs to produce meaning.
We chose what information we pay attention to, organize it & then interpret it.
People’s behavior is based on their perception of what reality is, not on reality itself.
Optical Illusions: What are illusions? Illusions trick us into perceiving something differently than it actually exists, so what we see does not correspond to physical reality. Hence, the word illusion comes from the Latin verb illudere meaning, "to mock." In addition, some illusions show us one thing in a picture, while someone else sees something entirely different in the same picture.
This Presentation comprises of many tricks based on optical illusions.
Also the Gestalt Psychology is briefly discussed.
Hope you enjoy this fun topic!
